Hi Everyone,
Firstly I wanna say what a pleasure it is to have found a really useful forum dedicated to
various plants
Anyway heres my Plant disasters I really could do with advice because im that murderous plant
woman lolz .....I started about 4 years ago buying various plants for my flat I wanted plants to hide
bare boring areas of my home so I purchased a fair few "Phoenix / Canary Palms" but i've
never been successful at keeping them going.
My first (Phoenix) survived about 2 years but one day I noticed the leaves flop abit)
did abit of looking around and it turned out the base was rotten I guess (Overwatering)
Second the (Canary) lasted a year I think that was down to Cold winter the leaves turned brown
last year I bought another Canary and to say its still perking up ive seen the odd leave end tip turn brown
but i've just cut those of lol
there is a new leave growing on it the moment its not that tall a plant at the moment, really unsure if I
should re-pot it or not will shove pics of it up at some stage
when it comes to watering I leave it a few weeks but with Spring just in i've re-started giving it a drip feeder plus some Baby Bio im really unsure if it needs any drips during winter i'm just wondering if that is why the leaves tips were turning brown on it cos of that?
other Disasters ive had is Dragon Trees they hate me ive had 2 large ones the first one died cos of too much water
the stork went all mushy on me my second one had Mealy bugs and lasted about 4 weeks its safe to say that I think
im to stay away from those
Cycas revoluta I had for a few months was fine at first then got grey/white coloured leaves Oh Gee I hear you all
firing at me
anyway so moving on to plants I have at the moment : Mexican fan palm 2 seedlings, Yukka, Spider plant
and my best grower ive had for 5 years my lovely Pink Cyclamen (I guess i'll get my coat huh?) lolz
